Temper, temper! Sen. BURNS trailing; pulls press credentials for reporting poll!
HELENA - Democratic Senate challenger Jon Tester appears to hold a slight lead over Republican Sen. Conrad Burns in a new poll of likely voters released Monday. The poll drew an unusually sharp reaction from the Burns campaign.

A Burns spokesman dismissed the USA Today/Gallup poll as inaccurate and said the campaign was revoking one newspaper's credentials to attend Burns' election night event in Billings because it wrote about the poll.

Jason Klindt said the Great Falls Tribune would not be allowed to attend...

The USA Today/Gallup telephone survey of 734 likely Montana voters was conducted Nov. 1 through Nov. 3 and showed Tester with 50 percent, compared with Burns' 41 percent. The margin of error was 5 percentage points.

5. 9 points is a "slight" lead?
I guess it is when you own the voting equipment.

6. Tomorrow's Headline:
"Burns caught in broom closet with male staffer!"

Wednesday's headline.

"Whoops. Our mistake. Our deepest apologies to former Sen. Burns."

13. Its easy to see how Republicans only want fair and balanced media.
Anyone who doesn't repeate their message gets kicked out.
